definetly GETTING TALL.

"Guido, you're not crazy, you're alright.
Everyone wants everyone in sight.
But knowing you have no one if you try to have them all
is part of tying shoes
part of paying dues,
part of scraping knees if we should fall,
PART OF GETTING TALL."

gorgeous.

musicaltheatreman - PLEASE tell me you did not just say you like "It's a hard NOT life" from Annie! Are you kidding me?!? I hope for the sake of this site that that was a typo. "It's the hard KNOCK life! We're just all going to pretend like that was an accident.

I like "You're A Big Boy Now" and "I Want to Know" from BIG. Also, "Let Me Entertain You" from GYPSY and "When I Get My Name in Lights" from the BFO. "Consider Yourself" from OLIVER, when the Dodger is played by a child and not a 17 year old teen.
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

I love that song that Gavroche sings in Les Miz...
"...when the pup grows up..."
Gosh, I was a big soppy flood after THAT song.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

re: Fave Song Sung By a Child

I hate the kids songs of les miserables! is the only thing that I will cut from the show.

My fav. is "it's a hard knock life" (FOR US!) from annie.

Nobody expects the spanish inquisition!

re: Fave Song Sung By a Child

My favorite is a three way tie between Getting Tall (Nine), When I Get My Name In Lights (Boy From Oz) and May We Entertain You (Gypsy)

"Little People"

Gavroche's Big Moment

Especially the London version

re: Fave Song Sung By a Child

"GETTING TALL" makes me sob. One of the most beautiful moments in that show....suprisingly enough the only moment I really was moved when I saw John Stamos do it. Those little boys in the Revival were amazing.
Mitchell David Federman (is that right?) IS UNBEATABLE during his number in BOY FROM OZ...THAT itself deserved a Tony nod!

The children in Lez Miz make remind me of when you wake up from a one night stand and a lot of booze and you think"what did I do to deserve this headache?"

re: Fave Song Sung By a Child

I saw a video clip of Mitchell David Federan on the official Boy From Oz website. I was amazed by his performance - especially that back flip off the piano! I think I have a tape somewhere of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade performance of him.

Children in musicals usually make me cringe....but I loved the girl in Jane Eyre singing "The Graveyard".
